Vodafone impending the Touch Pro to touch decreased in the UK their month, and guaranteed enough, argued expectation has become a reality. HTC’s mighty WinMo-powered smartphone is now to be had based on what i read in official UK distributor devicewire, and if you just recently so transpire to use pounds as your number one currency, you can contend one of your own for the eye-popping worth of £514.99 (including VAT). We will not bother converting the to bucks — faith us, you are bigger off pretending you do not know.

Apple’s iPhone coming to Latin America on America Movil

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 by admin

Just a day after we heard that Vodafone was taking the iPhone on a world tour, in comes word that Apple’s darling will be headed to Latin America via America Movil. We aren’t told if the deal is one of exclusive nature, nor were we given a specific launch date, but residents of 16 countries in Latin America will have their shot at latching onto an iPhone sometime “this year.” Huzzah!

Check it, Europeans — Clarion has just dumped a new duo of PNDs on the market, and they’re both geared up to route you all over your humble lands. It appears that the only major difference between the MAP680 and MAP780 are the actual maps loaded in; the former is available in four regional versions, while the latter features a full 43 European countries. Specs wise, we’re lookin’ at a 4.3-inch widescreen display, text-to-speech, built-in TMC tuner, 3D display of buildings / POIs, lane assistant, Bluetooth (with phone book transfer and audio streaming), a 400MHz CPU, multimedia player and 2GB (MAP780) / 1GB (MAP680) of internal memory. No word on a price or any of that good stuff just yet, but feel free to get more acquainted with the pair in the gallery below.

FreeSat TV service goes live across the UK

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 by admin

We knew it was coming, and after waiting for quite some time for FreeSat to go from concept to reality, television viewers across the UK can finally indulge. If you’ll recall, a recent survey found that just 5-percent of Europe’s HDTV owners actually bothered to tune into HD programming, but now that number is likely to change. Effective today, 98-percent of the UK can fork out a one-time fee of £49 ($96) to £120 ($234) in order to acquire a FreeSat set-top-box, and after an £80 ($156) installation, users will have subscription-free access to BBC HD, ITV HD (coming soon), Channel 4’s digital service and around 70 other TV / radio channels. Better still, that number is slated to rise to 200 before the year’s end, and unsurprisingly, the launch is expected to boost available high-def offerings in the region. Anyone across the pond have their equipment set up already? How’s the service?

[Thanks, Ivan]
